You can google team building and find plenty of ideas. These are some that I actually have participated in. They sound corny but most of these team building exercises are. Good Luck
Line Up - Divide the group into 2. Each team will compete against each other to see who can get the challenge done faster. Challenges could be” line up according to birthdays, alphabetically by first name or last name, age, etc. Try the same challenges without talking.
Human Letters -Divide the squad into groups of 4 to 5 people. The coach calls out a letter. Each group has to spell out the letter on the ground with their bodies. The group to get the letter the fastest, or the most accurate, wins. Keep score.
WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW: Tape a blank piece of paper (poster board - kind of like a billboard over the person’s head) on everyone’s back.The members are to write a compliment or positive comment on everyone’s back.At the end of the session, explain that a lot of times we tend to give compliments behind someone’s back and it is not very often that we actually say these things to people’s faces.We sometimes take for granted the positive aspects of others.If you wish, you may also explain that criticisms often are given behind other’s backs as well, and that it may be more effective if they go to the person, instead of others.Have the group members pair up with someone they would like to get to know better and remove the paper from each other’s backs.They should then explain to that person why they would like to get to know him/her better.
PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS: All participants are given a bag with pennies (each participant should have one penny for each member in the group - if there are 20 people, players each should have 20 pennies).Participants go around the room to each other and trade “a penny for a thought.”Participants trade pennies - and positive thoughts about what they think of one another.What an incredible activity and a wonderful way to end an experience!Activity continues until all participants have shared with every member of the group and have a new bag of “pennies for thoughts.”

I'd hack off my own penis with a rusty saw before I would ever consider this.

This problem solving exercise requires little more than a couple of sets of children’s building blocks. The instructor will build a small sculpture with some of the building blocks and hide it from the group. The participants should then be divided into small teams of four. Each team should be given enough building material so that they can duplicate the structure you’ve already created. The instructor should then place their sculpture in an area that is an equal distance from all the groups. One member from each team can come up at the same time to look at the sculpture for ten seconds and try to memorize it before returning to their team. After they return to their teams, they have twenty-five seconds to instruct their teams about how to build an exact replica of the instructor’s sculpture. After one minute of trying to recreate the sculpture, another member from each team can come up for a “sneak a peek” before returning to their team and trying to recreate the sculpture. The game should be continued in this pattern until one of the team’s successfully duplicates the original sculpture. This game will teach participants how to problem solve in a group and communicate effectively.

Easy.....shows you how difficult (and important) it is to communicate even the smallest of things. Teaches the importance of documentation (shows how crappy your memory is), is a challenge (you will have a winner), and is self depricating/fun....will get people to laugh and make fun of themselves.
Covers all the bases for a short, quick, effective exercise.
